Justin Bieber Recorded & Released 'Despacito' Remix in 48 Hours!

Justin Bieber's "Despacito" remix was a massive hit this year and it all came together in 48 hours!

The 23-year-old superstar first heard the song while he was visiting Colombia and he knew he wanted to be a part of the song.

"We always had a remix in mind but failed in our initial efforts to find an Anglo artist. Then Justin Bieber heard the song at a club in Bogotá," Jesus Lopez, CEO of Universal Music Latin America, told Billboard.

Republic Records founder Monte Lipman added, "Scooter Braun called and said, 'Bieber loves it, but he wants [the record] out in 48 hours.' We flew someone to South America that day to record vocals."

Thankfully, everything came together quickly and now the song's music video is the most watched YouTube vid of all time!
